What does this PR do?

Save this file as ~/.config/yadm/bootstrap and make it executable. It expects
environment variable file with a name of shell script to execute. file can be relative to ~/.config/yadm/ or has full
path.

It also adds some helpers (e.g. install, confirm, command_exists, source_if_exists ) that can be used in sourced files.

Usage:

file=install yadm bootstrap

or

file=~/.config/yadm/install yadm bootstrap

where ~/.config/yadm/install can be like this:

[[ ! $(type -t install) = 'function' ]] && echo "Usage: file=$(basename "$0") yadm bootstrap" && exit 1

confirm yes 'softwareupdate --agree-to-license --install --all' "$(info 'Install ' warning 'OSX updates')"
install 'brew' '/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"'

brew bundle --global

Add example of bootstrap that can be used to run interactive shell scripts
and also expecting `file` instead of `source` as env. variable to make that possible without dancing around: 
```
#!/bin/bash

file=backup && yadm bootstrap;
file=install && yadm bootstrap;
file=configure &&yadm bootstrap;
```

Thanks for your work in improving yadm! I'm slowly working myself through the open PRs and I would like to learn some background about this.

Have you for example seen the existing bootstrap-in-dir script? Could that work for some of the use-case you see here?

I see bootstrap as something that's run when cloning, and potentially after updating, and which should run mostly on its own without any parameters. This here seems more like a collection of helpful functions that you'd run during some other time. Or have I misunderstood something?
